A Contains Art commission. Photo credit, Jon Barrett This project documents a group of year-round sea swimmers, and explores our relationship with water and our engagement with the sea and swimming, through a collage of experiences and weather conditions. The work was shown in two installations at the Brunel Boat Museum in Watchet, Somerset; one video installation was projected onto the windows of the Boat Museum at night and another was seen inside the museum by day. The swimmers enter the water on one screen and exit on the other, giving a circular idea of continually entering the sea, time after time and season after season. Documenting the effect of the sea on each individual, it explores our relationship with the sea and nature, whilst offering a portrait of the swimmers who brave these waters all year round. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Mz1hr1xTC6c http://www.lynndennison.com/static/17689-19-11-07_ Sea Swimmers, Video Installation, 17.45 mins Brunel Boat Museum, Watchet, Somerset.
